Buying your first home can feel like a maze, and we get it—there are a million questions running through your head. That’s why we created our Facebook group just for first home buyers, where no question is too simple or too complex. And the questions have been pouring in!

In this episode, we answer the most common questions from our Facebook group. We start with the nitty-gritty details of what standard strata fees are and what they typically cover—because no one wants to be caught off guard by unexpected costs.

We then shift the discussion towards the importance of assembling a solid support crew, talking about how to find a reliable buyer’s agent, a thorough building and pest inspector, and a conveyancer who truly has your best interests at heart.

We also explore the dilemma of focusing on location versus opting for a property with more space. And then break down the pros and cons of securing a higher-value property with a loan compared to choosing a lower-grade one with grants.

This episode is packed with the insights you need to move forward confidently on your home-buying journey. So what are you waiting for? Let's dive right in!
